can BigNum then start at sizeof(int)? overflow would auto-grow the BigNum to
the appropriate size, and most integer math operations will keep space usage
as low as possible. 

in fact, then int is just a degenerate case of BigNum, one that doesn't grow
and throws an exception instead. or, maybe that's the case already, i should
probably read the docs.
